Operational trust infrastructure
The operational trust layer for mission-critical AI
Clear, credible AI governance and evidence-first investigative tools for defense and high-consequence teams, on infrastructure you control.
CAC/PIV sign-in
NIST SP 800-53 alignment
Self-hosted
Runs on-premises or disconnected when configured with
self-hosted models. ADS supports your authorization; your authorizing official
grants it.
Two products
Build on ARIA, or put Hermes to work.
Hermes is built on ARIA, so the policy engine and audit record are the same either way. They are licensed separately.
ARIA · Governance and execution
Govern what agents do. Run them under that control.
Policy checked before an agent acts, approvals your administrators configure, untrusted content screened, and a tamper-evident record of each decision. Your engineers build the application and own it.
For: Engineering teams building a mission application they own.

Hermes · Intelligence Application
Evidence-first investigation, already built.
Analysts bring their own material, develop cited findings through repeatable workflows, and review before anything is published. Citations show where a claim came from; people still judge whether it holds.
For: Analyst and operator teams who need to start working quickly.

Who we serve
Where AI carries the consequence.
Government agencies
Federal and defense organizations that need AI they can govern, audit, and explain to oversight.
Defense Industrial Base
Primes and subcontractors building secure applications, often under CMMC and DFARS obligations.
Regulated enterprise
Energy, critical infrastructure, and SLED operators that keep data and inference inside their own boundary.
Built by operators
From the mission. For the mission.
Founded by veterans of the U.S. Intelligence Community, Palantir, and Snowflake, with experience deploying multiple systems across the IC. The founding team built Night Shift Development (NSD), the creators of ClearQuery. Snowflake acquired NSD in 2024.
Engagement
Let’s walk through it in your environment.
A briefing covers your architecture, your policy needs, and where ARIA or Hermes fits what you already run.
